BOSTON — Freeing former Anglo Irish Bank CEO David Drumm from his debts would be "manifestly unjust," a lawyer representing the bank seeking millions from him said Wednesday during closing arguments in Drumm's federal bankruptcy case.

Bank attorney John Hutchinson said Drumm acted "intentionally" or with "reckless indifference" by filing false bankruptcy filings in 2010 and gave "blatantly false testimony" to the trustee handling his case.

Drumm's lawyer, David Mack, said his client made unintentional mistakes in leaving key information out of his Chapter 7 filing.

"In the end, this case is nothing but a witch hunt," Mack said.

Trustee Kathleen Dwyer and the Irish Bank Resolution Corp. Ltd., as Anglo is now known, contend that Drumm hid a slew of assets, including about $1 million transferred to his wife's bank accounts, by not reporting them on his bankruptcy forms and not correcting the information for months. Both Dwyer and the bank want U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Frank Bailey to reject Drumm's bankruptcy claim, leaving the former Chatham resident responsible for the millions he owes, including an 8.5 million euro loan he obtained from Anglo.

Five days of testimony, including from Drumm himself, wrapped up May 28 in bankruptcy court in Boston.

Drumm argued during his testimony he didn't know the ins and outs of the American bankruptcy process and said he was willing to figuratively "get naked" in the process of exposing his financial affairs. He argued he gave stacks of bank records to Dwyer, including the data she wanted.

He said it wasn't until a creditors meeting in April 2011 that he realized that the form he filled out in his original filing required various assets including cash transfers.

Hutchinson repeated arguments by the bank during the trial that Drumm, who he characterized as a veteran bank executive and accountant, was financially sophisticated and understood what he was doing during the bankruptcy filings.

Mack said "a big blunder occurred" when many of the former banker's assets weren't listed on the filings. But Mack argued it wasn't intentional.

"Mr. Drumm was not trying to hide anything from anyone," Mack said.

Mack argued that Drumm provided to his advisors the cash transfers before the bankruptcy filings.

"There was no effort to hide this from them," Mack said.

Hutchinson argued that Drumm was told by his lawyers he needed to disclose everything in his papers and the case was about him alone.

"This case is about the debtor," he said. "No one else."

Drumm headed Anglo until December 2008. A month later, the bank was taken over by the Irish government, which subsequently committed tens of billions of dollars to prop up the failing institution.

After his departure, Anglo filed suit in Dublin, seeking to recoup the 8.5 million euro loan from Drumm, who filed a countersuit.

While the bankruptcy filing in Boston halted the Irish court cases, a ruling against Drumm would likely set those lawsuits back into motion.

Bailey's verdict, though, could be weeks or months away.

In 2009, Drumm moved to Chatham with his family. They later relocated to Wellesley, where they still reside. Drumm had previously lived in the region as Anglo's representative in Boston, where he built up the bank's U.S. operations before returning to Ireland to head the bank.

Irish officials have spent years urging Drumm to return to Ireland to answer questions about Anglo's collapse, and the role he and other insiders played. The bank was liquidated in February 2013 and its collapse is cited as playing a central role in Ireland's deep recession.

Sean FitzPatrick, Anglo's former chairman and Drumm's mentor, was arrested and indicted in 2012 on charges of helping the bank provide funds to purchase stock in the bank, artificially propping up its share prices. He was acquitted in March.

But two Anglo directors were convicted of providing illegal loans to a group of investors in an effort to artificially buoy the bank's stock price.

The Garda, Ireland's national police, have wanted to speak with Drumm for years as part of its investigation into Anglo. But in order to pursue extradition, the Garda must guarantee that Drumm will face charges after being returned to Ireland.
